There are tons of funny words in the world of gadgets. From Hitachi’s hilariously-named Wooo Blu-Ray recorder, to Samsung’s latest BizBee mobiles. But it’s the codenames that really make us smile. Tube, Wahoo and Longhorn being just a few of them. But which is your favourite?

Did HTC’s oh-so-modest Dream do it for you? Should the BlackBerry Storm have stayed the BlackBerry Thunder? Would the Wii have been better off known by its codename, the Revolution?
